Mediterranean - Western

The countries along the western Mediterranean coast are known as the infamous birthplaces of romantic culture, artful history and of course offer incredible sights, sounds and tastes. On a Western Mediterranean cruise you'll have the chance to experience ports in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy. A little taste of each is enough to have you wanting to go back for more. Start your Mediterranean adventure on the Atlantic side of Europe with Portugal's Lisbon, and then sail through the strait of Gibraltar and over on to Spain with Malaga, then northward to Spain's artful capital of Barcelona. Along the Corsican shores and French Riviera you'll relish in the sweet life and hopefully get a chance to experience the legendary nightlife of Monte Carlo.  On a western Mediterranean cruise, excursions in Italy usually offer Rome and Naples, though Pisa and Florence may be on the agenda too.
